Irritant / corrosive response data:
The substance showed a primary irritation score of 0.00, when applied to healthy intact rabbit skin.
Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema.
No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed.
Light orange staining by the test article of the treated skin was observed.
The body weight gain of all rabbits was within the normal range of variability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is classified as "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test article was investigated by Directive 92/69 EEC, B.4. "Acute Toxicity - Skin Irritation", July 31, 1992, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Code of Federal Regulations 40, Part 798, Health Effects Testing Guidelines, Subpart E, Specific organ/tissue toxicity, Paragraph 798.4470 "Primary dermal irritation", revised as of July 1, 1993, and OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 4, number 404, "Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion", adopted July 17, 1992 (reported Paris April 29, 1993).

500 mg of the test item were topically applied onto 6 cm² intact dorsal skin of each of three young adult New Zealand rabbits. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion. The primary irritation score was calculated by totalling the individual cumulative scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours and then dividing by the number of

figures. Under the conditions of this experiment, the substance was found to cause a primary irritation score of 0.00 (max. 8.0) when applied to healthy intact rabbit skin. Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema. The test article caused light orange staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval.

Based upon the referred classification criteria , the substance is classified as "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
